Vapa Hotel is on Takuapa Road in Phuket Town, in the old town quarter, where the Sino-Portuguese shophouses along Talang Road are a short walk away. The area is a mix of old shophouses, small museums and busy market streets, with a more urban feel than the beach resorts. It is a place for walking, museums and street life rather than sunbathing.

Within a short walk are the Plein Poa Night Market, 200 m away, and the Thavorn Phuket Museum, 300 m away, while the Masjid Yameay mosque and the Wat Khachon Rangsan pagoda are also close by. The Peranakan Museum covers the Peranakan Chinese heritage of the town, and the Phuket Trickeye Museum, 550 m away, is known for its painted illusions. The Phuket Walking Street is also a short walk away, close to Talang Road.

A good day starts with a walk through the old town, a visit to one of the museums and an evening at the Plein Poa Night Market. For the beaches and the wider island, a taxi or hired car is useful, as Phuket International Airport is 27.1 km away and the beaches are a drive from town. The Phuket Town local bus station is 900 m from the hotel for those who prefer buses.
